World’s biggest sperm bank politely tells gingers it doesn’t want their semen

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

One of the old standbys for men to make a quick buck is their ability to sell their sperm for money. But now, the world’s largest sperm bank, Cryos International, is throwing one more wrench into the plan: They just don’t want gingers.

Sorry Emma Stone, but you won't be jerking off into a cup for Cryos International any time soon.

According to Cryos’s director, Ole Schou, sperm with men with red hair sells “like hot cakes” in Ireland, but nowhere else around the globe.

“There are too many redheads in relation to demand,” Schou said.

Schou says most women wouldn’t chose a redheaded donor unless their male partner were sterile and also had red hair. But he told the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet that the company can’t justify the fees, which can add up to almost $500, relative to the customers who’d want that.

Schou also told the paper that people with brown hair were in demand due to an increased customer base in darker complexioned countries like Spain, Italy and Greece. People with an Indian background are also in demand due to the fact that India does not allow the exporting of sperm from its country.

Honestly, I feel kind of bad for red-haired guys. Sure, 90% of the ones I’ve met in my lifetime have either been unspeakably douchey, creepy, or both. But they get crap all the time about being soulless or unattractive and now they can’t even sell the precious gift of bleachy-smelling life.

Either way, I’d have to assume red-haired fellows are used to being told someone doesn’t want their semen on a regular basis. Hardly news.
